Gloria is worried about her son’s soul after he is banned for life from gymboree due to his repeated aggressive actions toward other kids. She is convinced that Joe has the mark of the devil passed down from her great-great grandfather, who was given great riches in exchange his soul. Jay assures her that Joe is perfectly normal and that there is no such thing as a curse, but Gloria calls in reinforcements – just in case.

Meanwhile, Cam has completely immersed himself in plans for the wedding. Mitchell has graciously bowed out of the process in order keep them from quibbling over every detail, but his controlling nature and Cam’s tendency to go overboard eventually come to a head. Lily’s cat goes missing and is feared dead, but rather than explaining death to Lily, Cam comes up with a convoluted story as to why Larry went away, which spectacularly backfires. Phil has tapped into a rich vein of new clients: recently divorced mothers. Unfortunately, these needy, vulnerable women demand a lot of Phil’s time, causing him to neglect his own wife and kids at home.
